To satiate this never-ending thirst for content, Minecraft Dungeons is getting its first chunk of paid DLC in July. "Jungle Awakens" will place players directly in the heat and sweat of a dangerous jungle with three new missions to conquer. Naturally, the jungle biome contains its own unique weapons, armors, and artifacts, which players will need to conquer its dangerous new foes.

We dove into the $20 title last night in our regular Twitch Stream to see just what the game offers. Make no mistake, this isn't a Diablo clone by any means, but what Minecraft Dungeons does is takes bits and pieces of that formula and applies it in a way that's much more consumable by the masses. Instead of a giant interwoven campaign players choose individual dungeons to tackle with various levels of difficulty each yielding better and better loot. Once complete it back to the hub world to re-arm and dive back in.

While little and less has been said about what will be seen in the game when Minecraft Dungeons launches, the video below shows what appear to be lots of co-op spread throughout as well as unfamiliar Minecraft weapons (3:12 mark) and the developer’s drive to expand Minecraft from a sole game to a universe spanning across different genres - something rarely seen in games without even a single sequel.
